This invention relates to a method for manufacturing a wiring circuit component, and a mold for manufacturing a wiring circuit component. The present invention also relates to a wiring circuit component made of resin.
In electronic equipment and IC cards, a printed circuit board for wiring is used. Electronic equipment and IC cards exposed to harsh usage environments are often used in environments or circumstances where the printed circuit boards are apt to be damaged, or where wiring is susceptible to breakage. It has so far been common practice, therefore, to cover printed circuit boards, etc. with resin materials, thereby enhancing resistance to damage or wire breakage (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
According to the prior art, however, processing for covering a printed circuit board, which is mounted with an IC chip, with a resin has been required, and it has been necessary to select a resin suitable for processing and capable of enhancing resistance against damage or wire breakage. Thus, the fact has been that a member having a printed circuit board with enhanced resistance to damage or wire breakage takes a lot of time and effort to produce, and involves a high cost.
Under these circumstances, studies have been conducted on the possibility of manufacturing a resinous wiring circuit component by shaping a board member serving as a base and an anti-magnetic member, and further shaping a wirable resin in the board member.

Based on this finding, the present applicant has accomplished the present invention.
A method for manufacturing a wiring circuit component, according to a first aspect of the present invention for attaining the above object, comprises: shaping a board section made of a non-conductive resin so as to form in one surface thereof a one-surface groove for wiring, form in an opposite surface thereof opposite-surface grooves for wiring by protruding core members from a molding surface, and form communication parts for connecting the one-surface groove and the opposite-surface grooves together; and retracting the core members from the molding surface, and then supplying a conduction-side resin, which will become conductive, to the board section, thereby shaping the conduction-side resin, which will become conductive, in the one-surface groove, the opposite-surface grooves, and the communication parts.

As a result, it becomes possible to obtain the wiring circuit component having the wirable resin shaped in the board member.
A mold for manufacturing a wiring circuit component, according to a second aspect of the present invention for attaining another of the objects, comprises: a first fixed mold and a second fixed mold on a fixed side, and a movable mold on a movable side, wherein the movable mold has protrusible and retractable opposite-surface projections provided on a surface thereof opposing the first fixed mold or the second fixed mold; the first fixed mold has a one-surface projection and communication pins provided on a surface thereof opposing the movable mold, while the second fixed mold has a planar site provided on a surface thereof opposing the movable mold; the first fixed mold is equipped with a first resin supply portion which, when the first fixed mold and the movable mold are mold-clamped, with the opposite-surface projections of the movable mold protruding, supplies a non-conductive resin to a space part to shape a board section having a one-surface groove at a site of the one-surface projection, communication parts at sites of the communication pins, and opposite-surface grooves at sites of the opposite-surface projections; and the second fixed mold is equipped with a second resin supply portion which, when the second fixed mold and the movable mold are mold-clamped, with the opposite-surface projections of the movable mold being retracted, while the shaped board section is being mounted on the movable mold, supplies a conduction-side resin, which will become conductive, to the one-surface groove, the opposite-surface grooves, and the communication parts of the board section to shape a wiring portion.

According to the third aspect of the invention, upon the tilting motions of the tilt members to the one side and the opposite side, the plural types of the back projections are protruded and retracted in unison via the plate. When the first fixed mold and the movable mold are mold-clamped, the tilt members are tilted by the first push pins to the one side for regulation, and the plural types of back projections are protruded in unison via the plate.
